The name of this dish, Chicken Fried Steak, is a little confusing to some people. Chicken Fried Steak really has nothing to do with chicken except that it was traditionally fried in oil that had already been used to fry chicken.

Typically Chicken Fried Steak is served with a cream gravy and mashed potatoes, but I love making steak fingers and dipping them in a Creole-style mustard sauce. Turning knife and fork comfort foods into finger food is always a good idea in my opinion. That’s fewer dishes to wash.

I like to use cube steak to make chicken fried steak because it’s already tenderized and very economical. Each piece can easily be sliced into 3 or 4 strips to make fingers. Instead of using cube steak, you could buy round steak and pound it with a meat mallet to tenderize it. Might be a very good way to get some stress out because you are going to have to pound it to death to get it adequately tenderized.

If you’ve already gotten your workout in for the day, just go for the cube steak. It’s already to go.

I like to coat the steak fingers in a mixture of flour and Saltine crackers for a thick and crispy coating. Some Cajun seasoning added to the flour mixture gives these Chicken Fried Steak Fingers a little zip which is complemented well by a mustard dip made with mayonnaise and sour cream.

Thank you for another useful web site. Wherever else could I buy that sort of information written in this kind of fantastic way? I’ve a challenge i’m at the moment implementing, and i have been on the looks outside to get such information..

Just made these tonight for the first time. HUGE HIT with my fam! Hubby and my 12 and 15 year old boys DEVOURED them! My husband loves chicken friend steak and gravy so we made a country gravy for dipping. YUMM-O! I’m sure I’ll be making these A LOT more! Thanks for the recipe!

I’ve never tried chicken fried steak but it looks dangerously good! My hubs would flip over the moon and back if I made these for him – he loves steak and is a big fan of anything deep fried with lots of batter. Thanks Christin – pinning to make for him on a special day 🙂

I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this post!! CFS is the world’s BEST guilty pleasure, and now you’ve gone and make it not only seriously accessible, but also a FINGER FOOD SNACK! Christin, Honty we speak the same language!

I’ve made chicken fried steak a few times (not enough!) and we love it. Great idea on using some saltines and making it into fingers. I always make milk gravy and would love to try it with this sauce. The seasoning sounds spot on.

This looks mouthwatering. My boyfriend is literally the hardest person to cook for because he is such a fussy eater but one thing he loves is steak so I’m going to pin this to make for him when it’s my turn to cook. Thank you!
